Capcom Revives Dino Crisis with New Trademark

Capcom has recently taken a significant step by filing an application to register the Dino Crisis trademark in Japan, which is now publicly accessible. While this move doesn't confirm the launch of a new game, it certainly hints at Capcom's interest in reviving the beloved franchise.

By securing the Dino Crisis trademark, Capcom is likely setting the stage for future endeavors, which could include a remake of the iconic dinosaur survival horror series. Originally crafted by Shinji Mikami, the genius behind Resident Evil, Dino Crisis first hit the shelves in 1999 on the PlayStation 1. The series saw two sequels but went quiet following the release of the third game in 2003, leaving fans both puzzled and eager for more.

These speculations aren't without foundation. Last year, Capcom expressed their intent to "revitalize older franchises that haven’t seen new releases in recent years." This statement followed closely on the heels of announcements for the Okami Sequel and Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Moreover, in a fan-driven poll conducted by Capcom during the summer of 2024, Dino Crisis topped the "most desired continuation" category, significantly boosting hopes for its return.
